The 2br units are great value

The CP 2br units are a hidden gem. At ~1300 sqft they are the largest 2br units between mpp, Mila, tides, and 73 east. They are all corner units with great views and floor to ceiling windows. The billing amenities are not great. Gym is small and there's no pool. But being connected directly to the pedway is amazing: means you can go to the train station, stores, and restaurants without ever going outside. Gleacher center is also less than 5 minutes away.

Could not have picked a better spot

Right in the middle of downtown! Just the way I love it. Surrounded by buildings, and city life. This is certainly a place that is lively and always has fun things to do. The apartment itself is amazing. Floor-to-ceiling windows, with hardwood and granite. It's a little pricey, but it's honestly great for the value.

Decent place

I have lived here for two years. This is not a smoke free building. A lot of college students live here. The apartments are big but are not upgraded. Location of this apartment is its beat thing. Also big sized apartments also make this a good place to live.

Affordable Downtown Living

Columbus Plaza is one of the more afforable high-rise buildings located in the heart of downtown plus great views of Navy Pier and the river front. It also has access to parks, grocery stores and restaurants. The building staff are very friendly and attentive.

Amazing

Absolute best apartment we've ever lived in. Plus a gym with 24 hr access. Downside - paying for parking. The apartment is safe, excellent location to restaurants, transportation and outdoor activities. The employees are always wonderful and amenities are great.

The walk everywhere location

Columbus Plaza is a bit of a "tired" building, but you cannot beat the price for where you are in the heart of downtown Chicago. Living above the powdery is another added amenity, as mcondalds and dunking donuts are great for a quick breakfast. We lived here for 3 years and have never regretted a minute.

Reviewed by UChicago Law Student living at The Tides
Very secure and tranquil. Very close to public transportations. Namely millennium station which I use to ride the Metra trains to campus.
Very close to the lake and navy pier
Great park surrounded by all the buildings.
There’s good supermarket that has everything. A couple restaurants and coffee shops are also there.
Reviewed by Chicago Booth Student living at Mila
Amazing place to have a social life! It is super close to Gleacher and to where recruiting events take place. Most Boothies live in this area and that helps creating a nice community. West loop with amazing restaurants is 2 metro stops/5min uber. TNDCs also happen walking distance. Its also where most touristic attractions are so its great for when friends/family visit you.
Reviewed by Chicago Booth Student living at Millennium Park Plaza
Safe neighborhood and good because it’s where most Booth students live but it’s a little sterile esp at night. Lots of tourists around. I would not live in this neighborhood if most other students didnt live here. However it is convenient to get to most places around chicago. In the middle of everything
Reviewed by Chicago Booth Student living at Columbus Plaza Apartments
Columbus plaza is on the quieter side, a few blocks away from Michigan. Tides and park millennium are even quieter but lack the river views that CP offers. It can be a bit too empty at night, which may be of concern to some. Most of the nearby restaurants in the pedway focus on serving office workers so they close around 6pm. Great access to river walk for running or biking.

The Loop has pros and cons. Living in the Loop is nice because during the day up until about 8 p.m. there are people walking around the streets which is nice because you feel more secure walking. However, on weekends and after a certain time at night it empties and it can be a little eerie.

That being said, if you're anywhere near State St. or the Mag mile, there's pretty much people around at any given hour. It's fun to live downtown because the streets are bustling with interesting people, sometimes there's live music on street corners and there are a lot of restaurants and shops.
Reviewed by Working Professional living at The Tides
Beautiful area in a great location with a dog park, playground, and full service grocery store in short walking distance. Restaurants and transit are just ok in this area, but not a bad walk to the "L" and that opens up the restaurant options. No close-by childcare for kids under preschool age, but great preschool and private elementary school, with high price tags. Ubers often find this place impossible to locate due to GPS's going crazy with the multiple layers of Wacker, Randolph, Columbus, and East South Water Street.
Reviewed by Chicago Resident living at Pittsfield Building
The Loop is an unlikely place to live but I love it. You are in the heart of the city, close to every L line possible, very good restaurants and walking distance to River North without paying River North prices for apartments. Apartments are smaller throughout the neighborhood but if you are an urbanite and don't mind limited closet space you will love it here. Mostly everyone is walking distance to work.
Reviewed by Chicago Resident living at Oakwood 200 Squared
Great location close to blue, brown, green, pink, orange and red lines. 10 minute walk to State St., 5-10 minutes to River North, 15 minutes to Michigan Avenue. Grocery stores aren't really walkable but most people in the building use PeaPod/Instacart. Safe to walk around at night. A lot of new restaurants (quick service) opening in the area.
